![]() Although the forest appears to be right out of a beautiful fairy tale, there’s something terribly wrong. BADLAND: GOTY Edition builds on the stunningly atmospheric, hand-painted graphics of the original BADLAND with enhanced, above visuals, completely redesigned controls, over 15 hours of single player campaign and awesome multiplayer fun for up-to-four players with both local co-op & battle modes.īADLAND is an atmospheric side-scrolling action adventure platformer set in a gorgeous forest full of various inhabitants, trees and flowers. ![]() With BADLAND: Game of the Year Edition, you get to experience the multi-award-winning action adventure like never before. There's much here to enjoy.9.5 / 10 - Games969 – “Challenging, fun and darn addictive”Ĩ.5 / 10 & the Joystick Award - SpieleTipps – “Highly recommendable”Ĩ / 10 - GamingTrend - “The multiplayer mode is fantastic”Ĩ / 10 - WeGotThisCovered - “Deliciously difficult”Ĩ / 10 - TrueAchievements – “Hours of fun” Badlands: Game of the Year Edition isn't going to blow people's minds the way the original mobile version did for people playing it on phones, but the satisfying mechanics and quality of craftsmanship still shine through. ![]() Working out how to get past cleverly designed obstacles and traps - even if it's sometimes simply a process of trial and error - is generally quite rewarding, and the slowly evolving story, simple though it may be, still manages to sink in a couple of hooks. It's still a great little game with a gorgeous silhouette art style and a ton of personality (the glowing-eyed animals spied in level backgrounds remain wonderfully enigmatic). Everything is optimized nicely, and the controls feel natural, but most players are used to (and probably expect) something a bit more complex when playing on a console.īut that's not to say this version of the popular side-scroller isn't challenging or fun. The levels, while redesigned for consoles, are very short for a couch game, and the controls are a smidgeon too simplistic - even with the added ability to use a control stick to control speed and direction rather than simply tap to control lift. It's pretty clear that Badland was made for bite-size play sessions on mobile devices. Up to four friends can play a local multiplayer mode that sees players vying to outlast one another, potentially pushing each other into objects and traps. Groups of cloned Clonys are controlled as one, with each input action moving all members. Sometimes one or more of these clones must be sacrificed by, say, traversing dead-end passages and performing an action that opens the way for the rest of the group. This also involves deciding whether to pick up transformative power-ups along the way, including items that can grow Clony in size, shrink him, or - true to his name - clone him into multiple entities. ![]() That means players need to pay attention to obstacles as they approach, working out how best to approach them. He has to be quick about it the screen never stops moving from left to right, so if Clony gets stuck and the left side engulfs him, it's game over. Clony's journey is set in a forest filled with obstacles and traps that he must avoid by flapping his stubby little wings to give himself just the right amount of lift to fly through narrow passages. ![]() Players take control of a creature named Clony in BADLAND: GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION, the console version of an award-winning mobile side-scrolling adventure. ![]()
